100/100000 = 1 in 1000 or 0.1% chance its gonna poison you

Possibly, but which species are more common? Maybe poisonous mushrooms are 0.1% of the number of species, but 10% of the number of mushrooms growing.

"Maybe"

Why not look it up like I did instead of postulating and nothing more?

[-] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

My point is that you did not account for how common each species is

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Neither did you
